ISMAIL IZZANI DELIVERS A FRESH NEW SOUND AND IMPLIED LYRICS IN THE SONG ‘IMAN’
KUALA LUMPUR, 6 SEPTEMBER 2024 - Consistently experimenting with his music, Ismail
Izzani has released his new song titled "IMAN," officially launched on September 6. Ismail describes this song as having a significant personal meaning. The tone injected is clearly different from his previous discography. Interestingly, he anticipates that "IMAN" will elicit different interpretations among listeners.
However, Ismail is personally drawn to the overall contemporary sound of the song. He has also included a special dance choreography in the music video (MV).
“The creation of this song took a long time. When I first heard the demo, I was unsure if I wanted to sing it. But after listening to it many times and exploring the melody, I became very excited. I felt like this song was very fresh.
Regarding the meaning and message of this song, Ismail explains that the song tells the story of a woman named Iman. Iman captures the heart and is liked by a young man. According to him, the lyrics are very special as they can express a deeper meaning.
“This song has a hidden meaning and it depends on how the listeners interpret the message. I believe many people can relate it to their own experiences.
“We’ve all had a time when we were deeply in love with someone and wanted to improve ourselves from past mistakes,” he said.
Noteworthy collaborators have worked with Ismail to bring "IMAN" to life. The lyrics were written by Joe Flizzow, while Joe Flizzow, SonaOne, and Alexander Oghenetejiri Anidi and DeeKid were the composers of the song. “The entire process from the demo to the final song was quite smooth because when I sent the track to Joe, he came back with a rough mix of the song's ideas. When I heard what they did with the track, I was surprised by how they combined Malay melodies with Afro beats. So, after hearing that first demo, I was very motivated to complete the final product,” said Alexander.
The involvement of these big names shows that Ismail has not taken this project lightly. Now signed under Def Jam Malaysia, he is actively gathering material for future releases.
“The recording experience was enjoyable. Joe and SonaOne helped guide me in many aspects. I can say this song is one of the most challenging works I’ve had. “There are actually many songs I want to release in the future. But for now, I want to explore different types of music, like the genre in ‘IMAN’ or other genres out there,” he said.
Ismail is also excited to receive feedback from music fans every time he shares his work on social media, including TikTok and Instagram. Therefore, his desire to release more songs is growing stronger. “I can’t wait to share more of my music. I’ve performed at Pinkfish events before, singing songs that haven’t been released yet, including ‘IMAN,’” he said.
Moving forward, on September 24th, Ismail Izzani held an engaging fan signing event, "The IMANpiano Experience," at UNDEFEATED, TRX. Fans had the chance to receive signed posters while enjoying a vibrant dance activation, where they could showcase their talents throughout the day. The event fostered a lively and fun atmosphere, allowing fans to connect with Ismail and express their creativity in a memorable way.
"IMAN" can be streamed on all digital platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music
starting September 6, 2024, and the music video will be available exclusively on Ismail Izzani’s official YouTube channel starting September 6, 2024.
